Book bags and Sunflowers

In a field full of sunflowers

stands an empty swing

browns and golden yellows

a seat not occupied

too desolate to be found

too delicate to be sat upon.

Summer draws closer and closer

to its end.

Children are “back to school” shopping

instead of running through sunflower fields.

Picking out backpack colors

instead of sunflowers.

Riding electric scooters

not crackling old wooden swings.

This field so full of floral life

empty, all but a memory now.
